Orzola Beach
Information
The Playa de Orzola is considered one of the best beaches in Lanzarote, offering a magical atmosphere filled with peace and tranquility. Visitors describe it as a remote cove that feels untouched, where time seems to stand still. The beach features a stunning landscape with green, white, and black patches, making it visually unique.
While many appreciate the beautiful views, spacious area, and the absence of crowds, it is important to note that the strong waves make it unsuitable for swimming. Numerous reviews highlight the stunning scenery created by high cliffs and volcanic rock, despite some concerns about littering and the difficulty of accessing the beach due to a rocky road.
Key Points:
- Beautiful and unique landscape
- Ideal for relaxation and enjoying the view
- Not suitable for swimming due to strong currents
- Accessible but requires a short drive on a dirt road

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, it is the northernmost in Lanzarote, it is a wild beach, located near the village of Orzola. It is also known as Playa de la Cantería or Playa de Atras. It can be reached from Orzola via a dirt road, there is a large parking area just below a steep mountain, which is why it remains in the shade in the late afternoon. It is swimmable, and the access to the sea is gradual. You can relax and sunbathe.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach under gigantic cliffs of the lookout of the River. Easy access with free parking.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach by a high cliff. Parking by the beach at the end of a gravel road. Amazing views, crystal clear water. We were there with small waves (09/10) so many people were swimming. The ocean is warm and heavenly pleasant. I recommend :-)
Fantastic experience: Playa con unas increíbles vistas. La playa está ubicada justo en la ladera de una montaña y rodeada de piedra negra volcánica lo que la convierte en un lugar idílico. El problema principal es que las olas rompen en la misma orilla con mucha fuerza por lo que el baño está prohibido. Para acceder hay que ir un tramo de 1'5km por una via de tierra, pero es fácilmente transitable por cualquier tipo de coche. Al final hay un parquing para dejar el coche a pie de playa.
Positive experience: Schön anzuschauen, aber dadurch dass das Schwimmen wegen der wirklich gefährlichen Strömung verboten ist, erfüllt es nicht wirklich die Bedeutung eines Strandes...

Negative experience: La playa no es gran cosa, mucho oleaje y no hay arena, únicamente que hay son bolos de piedras volcánicas.

Fantastic experience: For me, one of the best beaches in Lanzarote. As soon as I arrived and stepped onto the sand, a magical atmosphere was created; the peace and tranquility it conveyed to me is something that cannot be explained. That feeling of experiencing how the end of each wave travels over the sand until it reaches you is something magical. I would define Orzola Beach as that small cove where time stands still.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and dangerous beach to see. It can be accessed via a stone road.
Positive experience: Ein zwischen Lavafeld und Felsen gelegene Sandstrand. Recht malerisch und gut zum Baden ggf. zum Surfen geeignet. Gut besucht, windig und ohne Infrastruktur.
Fantastic experience: Great beach! Not for swimming, rather for jumping and splashing in waves, but spacious, private, with extremely low people density, great sea air, and luxurious gold and black and red sand.
Negative experience: La playa no es gran cosa, mucho oleaje y no hay arena, únicamente que hay son bolos de piedras volcánicas.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful view
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to get away for a while, and walk along the beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: A lot of waves, some very big. Be careful, especially with teenagers. Surfers present. Superb. Far from the beaches in the south of the island in terms of attendance.
Fantastic experience: Superbe plage aux eaux agitées. Peu de monde...baignade très agréable dans une eau limpide.
Positive experience: Nice beach but definitely not the best on Island, little bit dirty from microplastics left from high-tide, but less crowdy. Pretty windy, not suitable for swimming, but with slow enter.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and secluded beach where you can take a dip and, if the weather allows, watch the surfers riding the waves.
Fantastic experience: We arrived a little bit late to catch the sun. But this is a nice quiet secluded bay. Pleasant and appears to be a good place to stay overnight if you have a camper.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful quiet beach

Positive experience: Lovely small coastal village
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Positive experience: Stony beach, swimming rather impossible, but secluded and quiet.
Fantastic experience: Free beaches characterized by green, white, and black spots, a very particular view, in the green part of the island. Everything is very clean with dry stone wall constructions in a semicircle that protect you from the wind.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful view
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to get away for a while, and walk along the beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful surf, not suitable for swimming. Great view of the rocks.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and dangerous beach to see. It can be accessed via a stone road.
Positive experience: Quite a lot of glass and small bits of rubbish in the dunes and rocks spoils the appeal. Better at low tide as nice beach exposed
Fantastic experience: Best beach in Lanzarote so far!
Fantastic experience: I don’t have words to describe this place. We are in RV and came here late afternoon. When we woke up it was a dream come true. What an incredible feeling.

Positive experience: Sandy beach, surrounded by hills. Here and there, small rocks, further a hidden piece of the beach.
Fantastic experience: It's really good, the only thing they don't recommend is swimming and I think we should all respect that to avoid having bad experiences.
Fantastic experience: The pity was that the weather didn’t cooperate because the beach is definitely worth it.
Fantastic experience: Great beach, super nice with waves to play and little depth
